I'm in the market for a CAI and wanted to get some feed back of what you all think about these intakes and which one you all would recomend, I have an I4 8G, thanks for the feed back.

Search! But pretty much any of the name brand CAI's will be good but won't give you much if any power its more of the sound than anything.

Dont even wast your time on gettin either of those; youll be paying so much money for only a 2HP gain....not even if lucky 1HP. Just get one off of ebay for no more than 40 bucks. I have one from ebay and it looks awesome, I had many great feedback from diff performance shops how good it looks and they like it, and didnt pay an arm and a leg...not only that you still get a great sounds from the TB. Its the same shit just AEM and Injen are brand names so they jack the price up. Dont bother man....

AEM and Injen are safest if your state requires vehicle inspections. They both have CARB exemption or approvals. No other EBay intake does have that. The AEM would be my choice.

I have an Injen that I am pretty fond of. Didnt notice any difference in HP gain but I love the aggressive sound! The black powder coat with small art graphics makes it look very nice in my Engine bay=)

the current versions of the INJEN and AEM CAI/CAS are nearly identical for our platform since INJEN copied AEM. the AEM has the option of a bypass valve to avoid hydrolocking and the INJEN has an available splashguard... they both have superior hardware and bracketry when compared to the EBAY intakes and both have CARB E.O. numbers to pass state/federal inspections whereas the EBAY versions do not.

both are nice... but the HP difference I dont think you'll notice.. AEM has the name.. Injen has the aesthetics

I have the AEM intake and noticed a little more power nothing insane but a little boost for sure plus it sounds great.

Yeah I have it too, did you notice any decrease in mpg? Maybe cuz I'm punching the throttle more often now.
